Philippine Coast Guard Successfully Removes Hazardous Floating Barrier in Compliance with Presidential Instruction

In compliance with the instruction of the President, the Chairman, National Task Force for the West Philippine Sea (NTF-WPS), Sec. Eduardo Año, has directed the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) to execute a special operation to remove the floating barrier that obstructed the Southeast entrance of Bajo De Masinloc (BDM).

The barrier posed a hazard to navigation, a clear violation of international law. It also hinders the conduct of fishing and livelihood activities of Filipino fisherfolk in BDM, which is an integral part of the Philippine national territory. The 2016 Arbitral Award has affirmed that BDM is the traditional fishing ground of Filipino fishermen. Thus, any obstruction hindering the livelihoods of Filipino fisherfolk in the shoal violates the international law. It also infringes on the Philippines' sovereignty over BDM.

The decisive action of the PCG to remove the barrier aligns with international law and the Philippines’ sovereignty over the shoal.

The PCG remains committed to upholding international law, safeguarding the welfare of Filipino fisherfolk, and protecting the rights of the Philippines in its territorial waters.

Correction: EO No. 5 declares wearing of face masks in all areas, whether open spaces or not, optional @sunstarcebu @sunstaronline

Interior secretary Benhur Abalos Jr. said Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama has agreed to temporarily hold the implementation of his EO no. 5 which makes the use of face mask in open spaces in Cebu City as non-obligatory @sunstarcebu @sunstaronline

[Third Anne Malonzo @3rdAnnePeralta]

Abalos: I am going to even further suggest to make Cebu City the pilot implementer of this measure since the city has always been first in espousing non-masking policies outdoors for the ease and benefit of its people amid the pandemic @sunstarcebu @sunstaronline

Abalos said he committed to Mayor Rama to bring the matter to the IATF for deliberation @sunstarcebu @sunstaronline

Groups were also carrying a ‘party themed’ effigy of President Marcos. Traditionally, groups set the President’s effigy on fire during such assembly before SONA. The PNP however said they got a commitment that there would be no burning of effigy this time. @sunstaronline
